ANALYSIS OF BIO-OIL OBTAINED FROM PYROLYSIS OF SCENEDESMUS AND SPIROGYRA MIXTURE ALGAL BIOMASS

Abstract

In this work, Pyrolysis experiments of biomass of Scenedesmus & Spirogyra SSB were carried out in a pyrolysis reactor to detect different hydrocarbons and compounds present in SSB. GCMS analysis and IR has been done of bio-oil obtained from pyrolysis of SSB and a simple process of converting of algal biomass to bio-oil through pyrolysis is explained with the help of graphs and tables. The bio-oil was obtained in single step pyrolysis in which temperature of the system was kept 25ºC and then increased up to 650ºC time by time. Pyrolysis is a thermal process for converting various biomasses, residues and wastes to produce high-energy-density fuels. After pyrolysis the obtained bio-oil was introduced to fractional distillation and then analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry GC-MS and IR. Different hydrocarbons and other compounds were detected
